So, is there anything to do in Casper Wyoming?

[progressoid]

I may have to travel there in a couple weeks. Should I bring along the Progressoid family?

[Jara sang]

1. Yuck, Dick Cheney's stomping grounds

Hope you like oil refineries, that is all there is there. Go down to the Medicine Bow Range, it's near there and relly pretty, off the beaten path.

[progressoid]

4. Gaaaa! I forgot about Dick.

I haven't been there for about 20 years and I can't remember much about it.

I wonder if I should just do my job and get out or give the kids a mini vacation. I suppose we could drive another few hours to the west side of the state too but time is short so.....?

7. Go to Yellowstone!

Best part of Wyoming.

8. I'd get in, do the job and run like hell!

Save that quality time with the family for something besides watching coal trucks and Haliburton signs.

[progressoid]

21. What - 30 hours in a cramped car isn't quality time?

[WhiteTara]

28. not in my book. But then I'm not really a

masochist. It's hard to play games, have good conversation while dodging the big trucks that own the highways and the scenery isn't that beautiful.

But whatever you choose, I am sure it will be the right decision for you and your family. Good luck with it all.

13. There last weekend.

Actually, there's only one oil refinery left in Casper these days.

And we visited a new museum that is all about the trails that went through Casper before the advent of the railroad. The Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, the California Trail ... it was surprisingly interesting and well presented.

That museum is on the north side of the "city", next to their events center.

Other than that ... no, there is not much to do in Casper. Or you can bring along some rotten eggs and throw them at the 'Richard Cheney Federal Center'.

2. cow tipping...

and I guess you can do the historic sites... not far to Custer's Last stand

[progressoid]

6. Hmmm, a monument to white man's hubris......kinda like the Bush years.

Didn't they recently add a Native American exhibit? we could do that.

[usedtobesick]

10. Actually it is as much about their side as Custers... I think there is

a better Native American exhibit now, haven't seen it yet

[progressoid]

23. Yeah, that's a possibility

I remember being bored stiff at the other one.

[Sean Reynolds]

3. No.

[progressoid]

5. That's about what I found on the intenets

[Sean Reynolds]

14. I live in Utah -- a state over -- and it's shit.

And I mean it's almost like someone took a shit and out came Wyoming.

The only good thing about it is that they've got great porn stores.

Do you like porn?

[progressoid]

20. Um, well...

Not too sure that would be a family kind of thing!

I thought WY was supposed to be all GOP and moral and....Oh, never mind.

[knowbody0]

9. been there. got scared there

back in the day, when people hated hippies.

[DELUSIONAL]

11. I went through Wyoming on my way north in May stopped in Casper

not much to do as far as I could tell. Just a place to stop -- even the rush hour was nothing compared to major cities.

[barb162]

12. On etime there was this blizzard so they closed the road and we

got stuck ther overnight. All I remember was this enormous western wear store, if you are into that.

[hfojvt]

15. I have some old HS classmates living there

last I heard, but that was about 20 years ago and they have probably divorced and moved on etc. They were a year behind me, so I cannot keep up through reunions. Well, I can get my senior class because my sister was in that year and my sophomore and freshman classes because I have siblings in them, but no connection to the two junior classes.

[ironflange]

16. I was there a couple of weeks ago!

Right in the middle of that brutal heat wave. There really isn't a lot to do there, except for the National Historic Trails Center, a new and really well done museum.

Best part is the covered wagon river crossing simulator.

17. "The only town whiter than the ghost"

Good ole john stewart

[no name no slogan]

27. John Stewart RULES

[leftofthedial]

18. you can become the most evil creature on the planet there

[Robeson]

19. Perhaps you could visit some type of Dick Cheney Memorial?...

...:shrug:

[matcom]

22. been there twice - they have a Motel 6

other than that?

[progressoid]

24. tee hee - you made me giggle

Ironically, the job I have is in a hotel



No! Not that either!

[datasuspect]
